Last week certainly felt like spring across the Inland Northwest. March 17 was the warmest St. Patrick’s Day in recorded history in Coeur d’Alene with a high of 71 degrees. The old record was 70 degrees set back in 1972.
Conditions this week are going to be very different. High temperatures this week are expected to be around the mid-40s to the 50-degree mark with lows in the 30s. We’re also going to be having a series of storms that are likely to bring additional moisture to our region. It’s possible that we could see some additional snowflakes in the lower elevations, but mainly during the overnight hours. However, it should be cold enough to produce more snow across the region’s ski resorts.
The upper-level airflow patterns are bringing these storms from the Gulf of Alaska. In addition, the storms are forecast to be strong enough to send moisture southward into California, including areas in the southern part of the Golden State.
